Something weird happened after I installed a bunch of updates and rebooted.
There were no kernel updates, or anything that I recall might be related.
Normally I have a lone "File System" icon that opens up Thunar.
After the reboot I got half a dozen icons. I recall a "Root Filesystem"
icon, a "proc" icon, a "sys" icon; an icon for every filesystem mount
point.
It was really weird.
Additionally attaching my MP3 player, a usb-storage device, elicited no
response, it was not getting auto-mounted.
I tried logging out and in, without any changes.
After another reboot things were back to normal. Just the "File System" icon
that, obediently, launched Thunar. My usb-storage device was getting auto-
mounted just fine.
Has anyone else seen this before, and know what's up? I'd be curious to know
if there's a way to fix this up without rebooting.
